2020-06-11 16:08:45 UTC - Enrico Olivelli: Hi I saw this post and it tells that Pulsar client is connecting to the bookies. Is it true? <https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2020/06/09/apache-kafka-versus-apache-pulsar-event-streaming-comparison-features-myths-explored/#sub-myth-pulsar-clients-can-talk-directly-to-the-bookkeeper-storage-layer-kafka-always-involves-going-through-the-kafka-broker|https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2020/06/09/apache-kafka-versus-apache-pulsar-event-streaming-comparison-features-myths-explored/#sub-myth-pulsar-clients-can-talk-directly-to-the-bookkeeper-storage-layer-kafka-always-involves-going-through-the-kafka-broker> ---- 2020-06-11 16:09:06 UTC - Matteo Merli: Of course it's not, as most of the things in that post ---- 2020-06-11 16:10:29 UTC - Matteo Merli: but I find the choice of the image above very revealing of the intentions of the post joy : Nicolas Ha, Ali Ahmed, Konstantinos Papalias ---- 2020-06-11 16:10:41 UTC - Jerry Peng: :joy: ---- 2020-06-11 16:18:05 UTC - Addison Higham: it is tempting to write a big long comment... but meh ---- 2020-06-11 18:16:57 UTC - Patrik Kleindl: I got the impression that the connections from Pulsar functions to the table service is direct, or do they go through the brokers too? ---- 2020-06-11 18:42:06 UTC - Patrik Kleindl: It sure is biased, but countering the claims with arguments would be helpful for anyone new to the discussion. 100 : Konstantinos Papalias, Julius S ---- 2020-06-11 18:56:30 UTC - Karthik Ramasamy: @Sijie Guo - was working on it? ---- 2020-06-11 20:04:09 UTC - Devin G.

For example they list 17 “supported” languages for Kafka and 22 for RabbitMQ, but most of those are not official clients, and many are not actively maintained anymore. ---- 2020-06-11 23:26:55 UTC - Greg Methvin: That’s not to say they don’t have useful criticisms. The “lightweight” documentation and lack of enterprise support have been problems for us, though it’s not surprising given that Pulsar is a much younger project. ---- 2020-06-12 08:19:53 UTC - Daniel Ciocirlan: @Daniel Ciocirlan has joined the channel ----
